GL: Warning-Mobile Bay

[Btlifes2short at aol.com]

Morning All,
 
Life's2Short just crossed Mobile Bay and is headed north on the  Tenn-Tom.  
Yesterday as we were headed across the bay at low tide we saw  what 
appeared to be a large barnacle encrusted stump or pole or iron  post.  We were in 
11' of water and this baby was not moving and was 30+  inches in 
circumference, it was definitely attached to the bottom.  We did  contact the Coast 
Guard and reported it's position but I also wanted to let the  list know of 
it's coordinates;  30.22.161 N  87.54.686 W    When Life's2Short cross's Mobile 
Bay, headed west, we always leave  the GIWW shortly after entering Mobile 
Bay and head N.W. on a direct line  to Dog River.  The obstruction is on that 
line about an hour north of  the GIWW.  The scary part was that we were 
following our old track on the  Cap'n software and we came within 10 yards of 
it before we saw it sticking out  about 6" above the water!!
